Activities at Meadow Park Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Meadow Park Care Home
Celebrating carers week
Happy Carers Week! We would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers here at the home.
We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.
Jubilee celebrations
Residents and staff at our home have enjoyed coming together to celebrate The Queens Platinum Jubilee to mark 70 years of her service. Our home hosted an outdoor concert with singer entertainer Mark McCann joining us for some brilliant live vocals whilst everyone showed off their best moves to celebrate the day.
Floral decorations with Ferndown
Our homes had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays. Our home will be specially decorated for the upcoming festivities. Stay tuned.
Crystal Palace Chronicles
We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.
Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure. A great time was had by all.
Dementia Action Week
Residents at Meadow Park have enjoyed reminiscence sessions as part of our Dementia Action Week. Our homes Therapy Dolls and 60’s Retro Shopping Trolley has helped to bring back fond memories from past days for our resident’s to share with us. It’s been lovely to see our residents chatting about their own personal past experiences with parenthood, shopping trips and 60’s food brands and we can’t wait to do it all again.
Woodhorn Museum
Our residents have enjoyed a trip out to Woodhorn Museum this month to celebrate International Museum Day. We enjoyed viewing all the mining memorabilia the museum had to offer and we got a real sense of what life was like back in the 1930’s.
